Xavi Espart

[jairzinho]

Fell asleep for Sevilla's goal.

 

[Andresito]

He'll probably end up as a solid Liga player. Not all players can become superstars.

 

[BusiTheKing]

Solid debut. Composed and practical player.

 

[Porque]

Should get more opportunities in home games until Kounde is back.

These small size midfield style fullbacks take a while to adapt to top level.

Yan Couto, Barco, Frimpong, etc.

 

[Richard.H]

Great match and seems very composed. La Masia overall has been producing much better players in the last 4 years or so. Physicality is not there but can be great for LL and CDR as mentioned above

 

[TacticsTim]

Way better than fort or torrents. Not your typical la masia baby boy he seems like hes not afraid of intensity. Not slow either

 

[ZenI]

He looked a little shy and nervous to me which is completely normal just that some of the supertalents have upped the standards in last few years

But I think talent is absolutely there. He is not physically weak despite his build and not too slow either. We will have to see the creative side of his game later on I guess, he is still too shy to try anything going forward. Had a nice combination with Olmo where he almost went through on goal

Ehm, he was creative imo - much more than Balde who only has his speed going for him. Espart isn't a slouch either, he is fast "enough". He needs a little more mass, but he's still young - he could actually make it at Barca, at least as backup.

 

[DonAK]

Looked promising IMO.

Just the way he glides with the ball.

 

[JamDav1982]

Looked class on ball. Almost Alves like in some ways.

But his height is an issue as said before.

This is a Barca team folk expect to be built on Cubarsi, Pedri, Gavi, Fermin and apparently Alvarez to come.

It will get bullied to fuck if not enough pace/power in the mix.

 

[Windhook]

He can dribble and defend. His low height/physique is the real problem.

 

[Barcaman]

Fell asleep for Sevilla's goal.

As did Cuba.

But yeah. Nothing special against Sevilla.

Far too early to tell. Nervousness and trying not to make any mistakes can hinder showing your best version.

Girona at home next so hope he's in contention again.

 

[Porque]

He's got a rocket of a shot on him when he gets going. I think Flick likes him so should see more of him going forward.

 

[JamDav1982]

It is Vallecano after Newcastle.

Games against them been fairly tough under Flick.

 

[jamrock]

The factory keeps producing.

 

[Barcaman]

It is Vallecano after Newcastle.

Oh, my mistake. They're not the same as last year but picked up their form as of late.
